Yes and no. Primarily it is for figuring out evolutionary pathways...by grouping animals with similar traits into related families ("clades") it helps us to determine ancestry -- i.e. who evolved from whom...but because it deals with similarities and differences regarding traits, it can also be useful in determining speciation.

Do new specie appear on earth because two individuals from separate mate and their offspring is a new and different species?
No. Generally, one species gives rise to two new species by geographic and reproductive isolation. Separate species mating at best gives nonviable hybrids.
How do new species change ecosystems?
If there is a new environment, it will likely attract species used to that environment. Maybe species not yet seen. If you don't count that as a new species then consider this, the new animals and species attracted to the new environment and landscapes might have a chance of breeding with other animals and species, creating a new species.
Where do new species come from?
Generally when a species splits into two populations that are separated by some means that keeps the now individual gen pools from intermingling. This allows new alleles to arise in the separate populations and as time passes this frequency changes in alleles can give rise to new species.
How does speciation affect evolution?
Speciation is the process by which new biological species arise. It is part of the evolutionary process; how two or more populations of one species, when separated geographically, can gradually change over time in different ways, to become separate species.
Process in which isolated populations of the same species become new species is called?
In Sympathetic Speciation, a species evolves into a new species without any barriers that separate the populations.In Allopatric Speciation, a population divided by a barrier, each population evolves separately, and eventually two populations cannot successfully interbreed.
What does technology have to do with new species?
Technology breeds two animals to make new species.
Do new specie appear on earth because two individuals from separate mate and their offspring is a new and different species?
No. Generally, one species gives rise to two new species by geographic and reproductive isolation. Separate species mating at best gives nonviable hybrids.
Are there new species of animals?
Yes there always is.
Why are animals kept separately?
because different species could mate and make new species which could cause diseases and disabilities in new species.
Why did people domesticate animals?
to make new animals or to keep a certain species alive.
What is the chineese new year?
a new year separate to ours. it involves different animals.
What kind of new animals r there in the ocean?
me, ride me? we might make a new species ;)
How do you get a new species?
All species are variation due to basically mutation in their DNA and sexual recombination. This leads to many variations in morphology( bodies ) and behavior. The easiest way to get a new species is process called allopactric speciation. This means that the species we are considering is split in two, usually by a geographic barrier. Then the species are isolated from each other, sometimes in new environments and have different mutations that are isolated in the now separate species separate gene pool. and so they begin to change both morphologically and behaviorally and agter some time can not interbreed any more. This process is branch like and the two species may go on as two separate species, such as we humans and chimpanzees. A good example is whales that were once land animals. When they went back to the sea not only were there allele changes but the environment changed for an animal that did much swimming to an animal that lived in the water.
What is biotech barnyard referring to?
the development of new species of farm animals.
Sometimes animals that are introduced into an area that they have never lived in before out- compete and endanger resident species?
The original species are not used to the new predators being in their environment, so they will become endangered and the new species will dominate.
Who decides if a populationhas become a new species?
once they can no longer breed and produce a fertile offspring with the other group they become a separate species
How do you make a new species of animal?
Have different animals have babies then let those babies have babies with different animals.
